Celebration times with family and friends are approaching, and that's why recipes like the one Carmen brings us today from Yerbabuena en la cocina are very welcome - a timeless recipe that, without much fuss, is ideal for any occasion.

We can already smell Christmas in the air, and many of us can’t imagine it without those family meals full of delicious dishes and cheerful conversations. Cannelloni are an almost obligatory dish in many homes, so today Carolina, author of La Cocina de Carolina, is making our mouths water with a meat version with a very special touch. You’ll definitely want to start taking notes, because she’s adapted traditional meat cannelloni in a way you’ll love!

The recipe I bring you today should become a staple in your kitchen this winter. For me, it's one of the best ways to eat soup, since all the ingredients are cut into small pieces and you can eat the meats, vegetables, pasta and legumes in one bite, all mixed together (hence its name, since barrejada means "mixed" in Catalan).

These cakes that Miriam, author of El Invitado de Invierno, brings us today will delight you with their tasty combination and how easy they are to prepare. Also, you can make them either in mini format as presented here, or in a single large baking dish. Don't miss it!

The other day I was telling you about which utensils are the basic and essential ones when it comes to equipping a kitchen, and that in fact they are also essential to keep in mind when renewing the utensils you have. You can see the post here.

I remember the first day I made crepes at home: I wondered how they would turn out, I thought it would be complicated, that I wouldn't know how to flip them or that they'd come out too thick. Without a doubt the first one I made wasn't good, but after the experience of the first, the second one came out very well.

Rosa, author of Pemberley Cup&Cakes, takes us to England with this version of the classic British chicken pie. Rosa presents a truly tasty version, but I encourage you to view it with your investigative-cook mode turned on, since by playing with other ingredients—the ones you like best—it will become one of your most versatile recipes.

Luisa Morón, author of Cocinando con mi Carmela, finds inspiration today in one of our favorite books, that of our dear Julia Child. From it she brings us a recipe without much complication but whose result you will love: these onions stuffed with rice and cheese, flavored with herbs, will delight and surprise your guests!

La autora de Sabores de Colores, Loreto, nos trae hoy una receta 100% otoñal, tanto por los ingredientes que usa como por el color que aporta a la mesa: con la combinación de los colores tostados de las setas y el rojo de las mini-cocottes, nos recuerdas los coloridos tonos de los bosques en esta época. La receta es muy fácil de elaborar, pero consigue un resultado que enamorará a todo aquél que lo pruebe. ¡Asegurado!

Our recipe collection couldn't be missing the cake that Virginia, author of Sweet&Sour, prepares for us today: the chiffon cake is a cake that, like good fashions, is making a strong comeback! It's prepared in the Angel Food Cake pan, so take note because you now have another "must-try recipe" for your list!

This pineapple cake is one of the first I learned to make several years ago. It has ended up becoming a true classic in my kitchen. That's why I want to share it with all of you. It's not very common to see a pineapple cake... so I recommend you try making it and tell me what you thought.

I love autumn! I love feeling the morning chill when I step out of the house while thinking about how much I missed it. There's another feeling I enjoy too, and that's the feeling of those comforting dishes that help you ward off the cold.
